Skansen Kronan ("the Crown Sconce") is a redoubt on the hill Risåsberget, in the Haga district of Gothenburg, Sweden.Ask Inspirock to suggest an itinerary and make planning a trip to Gothenburg fast, fun, and easy.
The fortress and its twin, Skansen Lejonet, were built to protect the city of Gothenburg against possible Danish attack, and thus had a similar purpose to the sea fort of New Älvsborg, which was built around the same time.

An exceptional viewing spot with lots of great vistas to discover. You can also interact with historical cannons or make a picnic. This is a great spot for viewing the city but also to appreciate the great fort of Kronan. Its walls are exceptionally thick and made of nicely coloured stones. It’s a great piece of defensive architecture, very voluminous, frozen still in time.

They have a great Christmas dinner/lunch, really good food and service, can definitely recommend. It's also a nice area outside, great for taking cityscape photos or just picnicking.
